It's time to be inspired with Cuttlebug Challenge! This week we're celebrating National Friendship Day...did you know it was fast approaching? Here's a little history lesson:International Friendship Day is the occasion to honor and appreciate those special persons in our lives whom we call friends. Proclaimed as a national holiday by the U.S. Congress in 1935, Friendship Day is now celebrated annually, on the first Sunday of August, in several countries. {Info by: The Holiday Spot}My card this week is a shabby card with a vintage flair. I used "Once Upon a Time" as my card's title because I'm sure all of you and your fiends have a "once upon a time" story! Here's my card:I am in love with Coerdinations Paper! If you are a fan of embossing and distressing your paper, this is the company for you! I used their Whitewash Paper for this card, the front is white and the back is colored....so when you sand or tear your paper, the color comes thru to the white. I used Victorian Folder from Provo Craft. I added a Melissa Frances sticker, Tattered Angels chipboard and glimmer mist, and random pieces of ribbon and pearls. This is a gatefold card, which means it opens in the middle like opening a gate. Now it's time to hop on over to Cuttlebug Challenge's blog and check out what awesome projects the DT made this week with their Cuttlebug's!And stop by on Saturday for a fun announcement! Enjoy!
